Everything seems easy when it comes to following directions, however, here is the real question.

Hi Rukhsar,

I hate to be a buzzkill, but what you said actually is true. In the real programming world, you will have to start with an empty sheet. There will be no tags pre-written for you. You will have to do it all by yourself.

I'm not a programmer, I actually worked in other unrelated field. But I have an interest in coding and I learned basic coding from Codecademy back in 2014 because I dreamed of building a website which I had an idea for. After completing all the courses on Codecademy, I tried to start building my webpage and upon 5 minutes into writing a few lines of code and I was already stuck. I don't know what is the next step and I find myself constantly having to go through the courses again to find out what to do next.

My attempt to build a webpage came crumbling down. After a few weeks, I applied for an internship at a startup and I got the position. My job is to help out with basic front-end coding and that is where I practiced. The company assigned me to redesign an already built website and they gave me the freedom to design it however I want. Some of the codes were already there. My job is to add more content, colours, words, pictures, etc into the webpage. It was definitely a struggle at first but after a few days of constantly trying to rebuild the webpage for hours everyday, I began to get the hang of it.

It is always going to be hard at first. If it is easy from the start then everyone would have become programmers. All I can say is that, to be good at it, all you need it is some material to practice on. Try to build a basic website or something. A blog, a profile page, etc. Or maybe look up on the internet for a source code of someone else's html project and you can try to copy it and play around with it and make it your own webpage. And once you've built that webpage, always continuously try to play around with the codes to make the webpage to look better. There is always room for improvement and from there is where you will hone your coding skills!

Good luck! We're all learners here and I wish you all the best.

Not a concern if you place what you learn as you place writing. If you need to remember how to write papers do the extra work for writing code.

If I was told to write some code I should remember how to write it from blank page as I would write a paper.

syntax error if you write it wrong so misplacing info learned to do programming is like saying you forget to chew when this is like the last thing that's hard and take effort

remembering

if you use atom or subline (text editor) when i type html and then hit "tab" it creates my document.

The text editor tree house uses teaches you well; in interviews I have heard that they expect you to be able to print out the full " html format" by memory.
